Romney: I was 'completely wrong' on 47%

Mitt Romney is apologizing for his now-famous 47% remark. "Well, clearly in a campaign, with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something

Romney's campaign has been dogged by a videotape in which he tells supporters that President Obama starts out with 47% of the vote because of people who receive government assistance, pay no income taxes, and "believe that they are victims."

Obama and other Democrats have accused Romney of writing off half the electorate.

In his interview with Hannity, Romney also said:

"I absolutely believe, however, that my life has shown that I care about 100% and that's been demonstrated throughout my life. And this whole campaign is about the 100%. When I become president, it will be about helping the 100%."

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has described his disparaging remarks about the 47 percent of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes as "not elegantly stated." Now he's calling them "just completely wrong."
